Enter key and caps lock key are the same......at least they get you to the same screen, so you can hit either.

Enter takes me to spawn screen, caps takes me to squad. There's tabs, but Enter is the shortcut to the spawn screen part, and caps lock takes you to the squad screen, which shows different things on the map.

ok, so i hit about 16 keys besides the movement keys... one of them will let you check out your beacon

A neat thing i found out about those gun/scout drones squad leaders can get, if you've got a beacon down, use one. They spot stuff for you(duh), but you can put infantry/vehicle sonars on them, so you're a mobile infantry/vehicle detector!

Yup Yup

One thing they do not do tho, is cloak when the operator cloaks.

On Gibraltar there was some crazed squad leader who kept trying to run by us with a Opus hovering over his cloaked head. Was kinda funny.

Only other thing he had to do was scream out "I CLOSED MY EYES! I can't see you so you can't see me ! ! ! !"

Laggy

the third unlock for squad leaders the Floating Gun one I have found fairly useless. It doesn't show enemies on the map and radar like the other one, it just shoots at folks that are nearby. The range is fairly close too, shorter than the support turret...

I think the much better at running over retarded children than laggy, Benandorf, was right, you have to hit Enter to actually see the spawn beacon on the map, Caps Lock just shows you an overhead of current friendlies and any spotted enemies.

That was me that said to hit enter, I think, not laggynsortacool.

I found that the only use for the turret is titan defense. You have to paint a target (someone in your squad does, at least) for it to shoot well, but once you do that, in a titan corridor, it's just an extra gun.

And I swear I wrote this out already... I think the forums ate my post.

Agreed, the Accipter is largely useless. It doesn't lock on and track very well. It seems to lock onto anything you directly shoot at, or things you or your squad "spot" so they have red diamonds. Even so, the weapon platform is horrible inaccurate. The accuracy of the accipter doesn't compensate for its high profile (I.E. Whenever you use a floating drone, your showing the enemy squad who is a critical target)
